Billy Martin &bull; <i>G U I L T Y</i>

Billy Martin • G U I L T Y

Billy Martin’s drumming makes me think of oxymorons like “precisely sloppy” and “intensely casual” and “red hot chill out”. This album lives within a zone that’s hazily bounded by funk, jazz, and electronic dance music.

Les Cowboys Fringants &bull; <i>Les nuits de Repentigny</i>

Spin Doctors &bull; <i>Face Full Of Cake</i>

Spin Doctors • Face Full Of Cake

BRONCHO &bull; <i>Natural Pleasure</i>

BRONCHO • Natural Pleasure
